Would be nice to buff out at my ripe age, I'm in somewhat good shape but could certainly be better. One of my main interests is enhancing the healing of ailments, which is also aided by better testosterone. My ankles and knees get painful now and then and if I could improve that would be big.

I found this site:

7 Smart Ways To Boost Your Testosterone

They go over some of the stuff the 'abs' guy talks about, that is how the right kind of weight lifting will enhance testosterone production all by itself. Also talk about how eating fat and cholesterol help:



Here are some foods they recommend on that score:



I eat most of that now, a couple of other things interested me:



They also mention zinc and vitamin D.
I'm kinda interested in this myself just to see how it might impact my training and recovery. My training is pretty intense right now - pushing weights, biking/running, and doing some HIIT class every day!

Get your azz on a bike, pound out 10-20 miles a day. Not that hard, it's an hour to 1.5 hours of riding. Takes less time than doing the gym hamster routine, especially if it can be combined with a daily commute!
Got a solid place to read up on this?
